Blog Post: Net(not)working? Networking Research Class Presented by Daisy Swan

Have you been spending hours on your computer futilely looking for job opportunities? You may have heard that most jobs are found through word of mouth, but you aren’t hearing about any. How do you find what’s out there? And how can you be found by the recruiters who want to know about you? Whether you’re just starting your career or have years of experience but want to expand your professional horizons you need to know how to find the people and organizations that are hiring.

This class addresses your questions about how to effectively use the Internet and other tools and social networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and others to learn from and connect with people you want to know. Learn how to suitably present yourself at social events, association meetings, volunteer organizations and conferences to successfully meet, talk to, and learn from, others about what you’re looking to do next. You will hear from several experts including a "mystery guest" executive recruiter and a savvy professional researcher/librarian.
